The Pagan Origins of the Memorial Observed by Jehovah’s Witnesses
by David_Jay in“we don’t celebrate holidays because god doesn’t approve of any celebration that is rooted in pagan customs and manmade traditions.” (see here for a similar jw response.).
if you were once an ex-jw like me, you have probably said something like this out in field service to someone who asked the question: why don’t you people celebrate holidays?
as the witnesses' official website states in an faq about not celebrating easter:.

The Latest Trend in NW England: Homeschooling Your Children
by pale.emperor ini dont know if this is becoming a national thing or even globally.
but im hearing more and more people i knew from my jw days have taken their kids out of school to home school them instead.
in my sisters case she's taken her 8yo and 6yo children out already and her 3yo wont ever start a school.

Actually home schooling is the one way the internet has done jehovahs witness kids a dis-service. In the era before online school programmes I doubt many jw parents would have passed muster as educators.

Ironically, many homeschooled kids in my area turn 18, get a low-paying fast-food-type job, quickly find a 'worldly' boyfriend or girlfriend, and then fade or are DF'ed, never to set foot in a Kingdom Hell ever again.
So not only do they lack any kind of an education and socialization skills they have been indoctrinated with prejudiced views and are frankly lucky if they haven't been sexually, emotionally or physically abused but will loose their families too through shunning.

My mom is into "The Secret"
by BlackWolf inlately my mom's gotten into all kinds of weird "power of positive thinking" kind of stuff.
she watches "the secret" and bob proctor videos all the time, and now she's trying to get me into it.
to me her being into this sort of thing seems kind of hypocritical.

July's watchtower leaves out some important info from a quote!
by stavro injerome over on discuss the truth has picked up on something interesting.. in the july watchtower on page 28 of the article entitled “winning the battle for your mind” the following statement is made “keep in mind that satan does not want you to think clearly or reason things out well.
because propaganda is likely to be most effective, says one source, if people… are discouraged from thinking critically.”.
the quote comes from a book entitled: “media and society in the twentieth century: a historical introduction by lyn gorman, david mclean" the watchtower however, chose to leave out a portion of the quote.. the full quote is "therefore, it is likely to be most effective if people do not have access to multiple sources of information and if they are discouraged from thinking critically.. the following sentence which the watchtower also decided was best not to include states,.

Yeah I saw this on xjwreddit and nearly re posted on here. Actually the whole article is one big coffee choking exercise as it centers on propaganda and ways to spot it!!
In fact the whole article is such a supreme exercise in cynicism whoever wrote it *has* to realize the Watchtower is a sham and a cult.
I personally hold those in the writing dept., who are allowed full access to "outside" scientific and research based articles, to account for the huge con they are pulling on the R&F.

If this is not being done on the say so of institutions and is from the Slave, why is it not rolled out worldwide? If kits really about safeguarding and transparency?
And why only one announcement? What happens if you miss it? Or join next week/ month/ year.
They care not a jot for kids, but only saving their reputation and the coffers it brings in.
